It's amazing that this fish has lived such a long and crappy life. Imagine how long they live with proper care?!

The world's oldest goldfish lived for 43 years. It lived in England, and is registered in the Guiness Book of Records as the world's oldest goldfish.

I would think the move to a larger tank would be welcomed by the pacu.

I cannot imagine that the change would be too bad as long as the fish was given "preparatory" water changes progressing slowly up to 80% daily before the move. His conditions indicate he would enjoy better water quality.
